Nitish overlooking undercurrents in Bihar: BJP MP

Purnia: Contrary to the rosy pictures being painted of Bihar's economic rise, the reality is that shoddy implementation of government schemes has led to anger among the people, a BJP MP in the state who is part of the ruling alliance says.

The frustration is particularly acute among the young, Uday Singh told IANS here, adding that both Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and deputy Sushil Modi were overlooking the undercurrents in Bihar.

The second time MP from Purnia said that there was so much frustration that he would not be surprised if a section of youth takes to guns one day.

Uday Singh's stinging comments are a rare criticism of the Nitish Kumar regime which has won praise for the apparent turnaround of Bihar since he took power six years ago.
